Please bear with me, English is not my first language, and my true meaning may be getting lost in translation.

Lover3d, sorry I don't see the highlights you are talking about, or for me that is not what I mean by highlights. If you mean that bright, desaturated area that looks as if it is a semi-transparent object lying on top of the hair obscuring the strand detail, that is not what I want to achieve in my renders, that is what I want to avoid.  The streaked look that Carodan shows is closer to what I am after, and I think he exaggerated the effect in order to demonstrate - what I want is more subtle. I would really like to be able to have hair that appears naturally shiny, but doesn't look like a flat polished surface. I think the specular colour needs to be somehow modulated.

Carodan, I really like that "successful failure of yours", I don't think it is a failure at all. I would love to know how you achieved the combination of relatively straight hair with slight frizz - it looks very natural. The hairline also looks very convincing. I always have a problem with the hairline looking too obvious.
